I usually get cake delivered to my overhead bin with a semi that blows the cake in the bin. I can get cake for a fair amount cheaper from a different place, but I would have to auger it in the bin. If it matter I have a 10x71 auger with a swing hopper. Will the augering grind the cake up too...

I bought my first Hereford bulls there last year. I won't have any calves out of them until April, but if the Bulls are as good as his service after the sale I won't be disappointed. He came out and looked at my calves and lined up a buyer for them even though they aren't out of his Bulls...

I had a neighbor that used 1:25 when he did this and got along fine. He fed MGA though. He got 50 percent bred in June the first ten days. Here is one of the articles that says 15 to 25 heifers per bull http://beefrepro.unl.edu/pdfs/naturalservice.pdf
